Message-ID: <49637789.9010203@stanford.edu> Happy new year! The lab is OPEN for business as of 7 am on Tuesday, January 6 Please be aware that not all equipment may be available or qualified. Check current status on Coral. In addition, there have been some changes in the following operations: Tylan oxidation furnaces (tylan1-2): In order to integrate data collection into Coral, data entry will be requested when any of these furnaces is disabled. To aid in transition over to this new system, station logsheets have been updated to reflect data requested. The tylan ox furnaces will allow us to test data collection methods, which we plan to extend to other operations in the lab. Svgcoat: i-line resist has been moved to the back track while dyed resist has been moved to the front. Check station notes and the wiki for recipe info. svgdev: Developer programs now all use MF-26A. Check station notes and wiki for updated recipes. Wbgaas: New hot plate controller -- different operating procedures are under development - see Uli if you want to use this. innotec and stsetch: Understanding that reservations are difficult for these systems, Staff are reserving 2 am-6 am weekdays on these tools for standy-by use. Contact staff about getting access to standby reservations. Welcome back!

You will see reservations appearing each week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's as the staff holds the equipment for each week's lab processing requirements. In addition there is substantial processing required on Friday through Monday to prepare the wafers for the next lab section. You will see reservations appear on these days for the TA's to complete the necessary processing. The EE410 mask design and process flow has been up-dated and changed to reflect the capability of the ASML tool. Beginning this year you will see more processing emphasis on the P5000, LAMPOLY and more furnace work and less use of the Dryteks. Please work with us during the next 6 weeks as we provide the EE410 students with a crash course in semiconductor processing.

Due to a wide range of demands a huge variety of light sources has been invented in the past. Probably the most ingenious one are light emitting diodes (LEDs) which produce light by recombination of charge carriers in a solid. While formally only utilized as status indicators due to their limited power, today's LEDs have reached a status to revolutionize almost any lighting application in the near future. The talk will illustrate the physical challenges for generating and extracting light using small and wide bandgap semiconductors. It will be highlighted how technologies, pioneered by OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, boosted the efficacy of InGaAlP and InGaN based light emitting diodes over the past decade. With the presented developments, the still ongoing race for ultimate efficacy and power already lead to devices which beat any other light source with respect to most demands and specifications. With its unique properties, LEDs even open up new opportunities as will be demonstrated by many examples. So there is time for a change in illumination and visualization. * About our speaker:* Dr. Klaus Streubel is Senior Director R&D at Osram Opto Semiconductors and head of the Conceptual Engineering department. He is responsible for the research and pre-development activities in the area of LEDs and Lasers at Osram OS. Dr. Streubel received his diploma and PhD degree in Physics from the University in Stuttgart. For his PhD, he developed MOPVE systems and growth processes for InGaAs semiconductors. He spent two years as a post doc at the Swedish Institute of Microelectronics in Stockholm, where he was involved in the development of semiconductor lasers. In 1993, Dr. Streubel took a permanent position at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, where he received a lecturer certificate and was appointed as adjunct professor. At KTH he led and grew the long wavelength vertical cavity laser group and started a successful collaboration with the University of California in Santa Barbara. In 1997, Dr. Streubel switched from academic to industrial research. The following two years, he developed vertical cavity lasers and resonant-cavity LEDs at Mitel Semiconductors in J?rf?lla, before he joined Osram Opto Semiconductors in Regensburg, Gemany in 1999. At Osram he took the responsibility for the development of AlGaInP devices and initiated the implementation of thin-film technology for high-brightness LEDs. Dr. Streubel has authored and co-authored over 120 scientific publications and more than 100 conference contributions. In 2004 Dr. Streubel and his team were awarded with the Osram Innovation Award for his work on AlGaInP LEDs. In December 2007, he was awarded with the German Future Price of the German Federal President for the innovation of thin-film LEDs. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We'll review the process capability improvements that have been brought up in previous meetings: 1. Quantifying contamination (lifetime testing/CV's). 2. Gold-contaminated RTA processing that is controlled and reproducible. 3. STS DRIE: Allow etching of substrates which may contain metals (semiclean or gold), while ensuring against contamination of critical clean processes. 4. "Semiclean" chrome deposition and etch. 5. Upcoming/expected ALD installation. 6. STS PECVD chamber clean improvement. If you've got a process requirement relating to cleanliness/contamination or equipment capability you like to discuss, let us know and we'll include in the agenda.

We need to wet etch TiO2 and TaO2 with selectivity to thermally grown SiO2. 2.

This morning I came in and found absorbent pads all around the CMP system, the carboy over flowing and wafer saw grit inside the CMP unit. It appears some selfish lab member feels their project is more important and subsequently it's fine to cross contaminate the tool sets. I now have a mess to clean up and have lost a $350 CMP pad. As a working lab member community, I would hope you would self police and prevent and or identify the individuals displaying this type of behavior.

One such technique is silicon migration, which can generate atomically smooth, in-plane & 3D curved structures, in a batch fabrication-compatible manner. This work focuses on the development of silicon migration as a micro/nanotechnology processing tool. Contributions were made to three essential areas: 1) Fundamental investigations into the conditions/parameters governing the silicon migration phenomenon; 2) Development and validation of a simulation tool for predicting the 3D transformation; 3) Demonstration of applications to improving photonic crystal performance and micro/nano-fluidic integration. This work develops and demonstrates the potential of silicon migration for creating a new generation of micro & nano-devices.

I contacted facilities at 2pm to report the problem of a "musty" odor and humidity of 37% in the Litho area. At 3pm facilities reported all the control systems are and have been within specification. Talking with lab members, they report smelling a faint odor beginning on Tuesday (which was not reported) and it appears to be growing during the day. Unfortunately, facilities has gone home for the day. I did get a promise from them, that if the problems remains on Thursday morning they will go in to the fab and help us locate the origin of the odor. If you find this odor to be offensive, please refrain from working in the litho area.

Message-ID: <7f014b6b0901290916i46ab48bwa2b617adc941d9ac@mail.gmail.com> Please see the seminar announcement below: * "Photoacoustic Imaging for biomedical applications"* Speaker: Adam de la Zerda, Gambhir lab, Stanford University Wednesday, February 4, 2009 1:00 ? 1:45 pm, Packard Building, Room 202 *Abstract*: Photoacoustic imaging is a new medical imaging technology with tremendous clinical and commercial potential. This non-invasive imaging technique allows for very high resolution imaging of deep structures in the body. The technique utilizes the 'photoacoustic effect' ? the conversion of short light pulses into ultrasound waves and their detection outside the body with sensitive ultrasound microphones (transducers). In the talk I will present our experimental photoacoustic system, reviewing its various aspects including: optics, electronics, ultrasound, image processing, nanoparticle chemistry, biology and medicine. Finally, I will present a number of medical needs we attempt to solve with this technology, including cancer early detection, sentinel lymph node mapping and others. Note - we look for students to join a Stanford-based start-up doing photoacoustic imaging. If you may be interested, please stay after the seminar for more details. *References*: de la Zerda et al., Nature Nanotechnology 2008; 3(9): 557-62.
